   Thank you, this is a nice start!

   Sorry for my late steping in, I was busy having sunbaths - it was May
holidays, and the Sun is rare guest here :)

   I want to add more in the general/introduction part. The need and
advantage of the Unicode is not that it can handle more than 128
characters. It is that it allows unified handling of character set - no
more need for different charsets. Unicode also allows to have characters
from different alphabets in one document.

   I want also to add few more links. Linux Unicode HOWTO (general part of
it) is very good introduction in Unicode, UTF-8, etc.
   http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unicode-HOWTO.html

   Markus Kuhn's UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux is well-known
resource:
   http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html

   Some more Unicode, charsets and fonts-related links:

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
